Abstract
Summary A Salmonella strain, which showed the serological structure of S. kentucky but did not attack glycerol and inositol in plain broth, was isolated from the blood and organs of three camels showing enteritis and cachexia. The sera from 19 camels were examined; nine contained H- and O-agglutinins for S. kentucky and the camel strain, while the remaining 10 showed only O-agglutinis. Four camel sera, which contained H- and O-agglutinins for S. kentucky and the camel strains which do not share a common H-antigen with S. kentucky , contained only O-agglutinins for other Salmonella strains. With both strains the mortality in mice infected by the mouth was low, but residual infections of the abdominal organs and the mesenteric glands varying from about 20 to 40 per cent. of the infected animals were found three weeks after infection.
